"Look at me, I've got a long fin"...............Canon G7
Emperor Angelfish close up
Dermatobranchus ornatus munching on soft coral entwined with a brittle star. According to Bill Rudman of SeaSlugForum, for the Nudi it's the equivalent of getting a caterpillar in your salad. click here
Chromodoris tinctoria taking a leisurely stroll, or should that be slime?
This was just a quick snap at a school of Dotted Bream, but it seems to have worked out quite nicely.
I feel a right t*t in here so I'm busting to get out.............Canon G7 & Inon UCL165

Nudibranch shot of the month! Very rare!
I love the colours in this. Enjoy.
Soft coral. Merry Christmas to all!
A tiny Magenta Dottyback looking very sad and dejected. Canon A70...............PS. I'm sure a vote would cheer him up, it also wouldn't do me any harm too. Doh!, reduced to begging, whatever next!
Colourful Clam with eyes like little LEDS.
Canon A70
Lionfish head down and hunting. Canon A70
Frightened Clown Triggerfish trying to hide in a crevice. Canon A70
I tried to get a super macro shot but this is the closest my Canon A70 will focus. I bet Alex and Dr Bob would have got full screen shots of the rhinophores. I wonder how they do it?
These guys never seem to cooperate and line up for a photo. Canon A70
A Tassled Scorpionfish trying to hide in the soft red coral. Canon A70, internal flash
Colourful scene from Taveuni, Fiji. Canon A70 with internal flash
Dwarf Hawkfish from Taveuni, Fiji. Canon A70 and internal flash
I liked the colours, it resembles a painters pallette. Canon A70
A couple of Dusky Anemonefish from Taveuni, Fiji. Canon A70 and internal flash
I spotted this Maori Wrasse, head down, being cleaned. Though by the time I got in position all the cleaners had left. I also didn't have a wide enough lens, but that's one of the problems with compacts. Canon A70 and UR Pro filter
Blue Ribbon Eel looks almost alien like in this wide open mouth shot. Canon A70 with internal flash and diffuser
